The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a
people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to
secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and
unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers, which are
cited to justify it.

The following instruction sets out guidance governing the membership by members
of the armed forces of societies such as freemasons: there is no intention or policy to
preclude service personnel from membership of any lawful and benevolent
organisation. However, involvement in organisations of a secretive nature, such as
the freemasons, carries with it the risk of establishing disparate loyalties which may
have a destabilising influence on the chain of command, not least by the perception
of preferential treatment and undue influence. While membership of such
organisations is clearly a matter for the individuals concerned, serving personnel
should not encourage or promote membership amongst their colleagues, meetings
should not be held on MOD premises, and use should not be made of any MOD
property.

'Freemasonry is not a Secret Society, Freemasonry is a Society with Secrets'...
"I saw a code of Masonic legislation adapted to prostrate every principle of equal
justice and to corrupt every sentiment of virtuous feeling in the soul of him who
bound his allegiance to it.
"I saw the practice of common honesty, the kindness of Christian benevolence, even
the abstinence of atrocious crimes; limited exclusively by lawless oaths and
barbarous penalties, to the social relations between the Brotherhood and the Craft. I
saw slander organize into a secret, widespread and affiliated agency....I saw self-
invoked imprecations of throats cut from ear to ear, of hearts and vitals torn out and
cast off and hung on spires. I saw wine drunk from a human skull with solemn
invocation of all the sins of its owner upon the head of him who drank it."

A more modern example of the potential for problems within Masonic lodges is the
"P2" incident in Italy. This involved the masonic lodge Propaganda Massonica
(recognised by the English Grand Lodge in 1972) and its Master, Licio Gelli. A
chance discovery by police involving a financial swindle uncovered a membership of
P2 which included 43 MPs (including 3 cabinet ministers), 43 generals, 8 admirals
(including all the armed forces chiefs), all of the heads of the security services, and
hundreds of public servants and diplomats. A subsequent Parliamentary inquiry
established that the lodge was the focus of nothing less than a right wing
conspiracy to take over Italy.

Hegemonic Dictator and Destroyer of Europe

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was initiated into Army Philadelphe Lodge in 1798. His brothers, Joseph, Lucian, Louis and Jerome, were
also Freemasons. Five of the six members of Napoleon's Grand Councel of the Empire were Freemasons, as were six of the nine Imperial
Officers and 22 of the 30 Marshals of France.
But Freemasonry is democratic, loyal, a-political, and peaceful right?

Let the Brother be brought to Light...
I declare and I challenge all mankind to contradict my declaration, that no man can
give any account of the order of Freemasonry, of it's origin, of it's history, of it's
object, nor any explanation of it's mysteries and symbols, which does not leave the
mind in total uncertainty on all these points. Every man is entitled therefore, to give
any explanation of the symbols and a system of the doctrine that he can render
palatable.
Hence have sprung up that variety of systems, which for twenty years has divided the
order. The simple tale of the English, and the fifty degrees of the French, and the
Knights of Baron Hunde, are equally authentic, and have equally had the support of
intelligent and zealous brethren. These systems are in fact but one. They have all
sprung from the Blue Lodge of three degrees.
Adam Weishaupt


'The Hidden Hand'...
It is useless to deny, because it is impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe--

the whole of Italy and France and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of
other countries--is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the
superficies of the earth is now being covered with railroads.
Benjamin Disraeli

J. Wilkes Booth
Don't wish to disturb you. Are you at home? J. Wilkes Booth.

In an act that would haunt Andrew Johnson during his impeachment trial; just seven
hours before Lincoln's assassination, John Wilkes Booth left a note at Vice President
Andrew Johnson's residence that read "Don't wish to disturb you. Are you at home? J.
Wilkes Booth."
Vice President Andrew Johnson
Among the many parallels and co-incidences that are widely and often commented on between John F. Kennedy's and Abraham Lincoln's
Presidency and Assassination are the following points that have been overlooked:
1. Both assassinations involve an elaborate conspiracy which implicates many prominent men, most of whom who turn out to have 'met on
the level and parted on the square'.
2. Both assasinated Presidents are not Freemasons.
3. Both assasinated Presidents are replaced by Vice-Presidents who are Freemasons.

Shortly after his impeachment investigation began, Albert Pike and Gen. Gordon
Granger met with President Andrew Johnson for some three hours at the White
House. Soon afterwards, when Granger was summoned before the Judiciary
Committee, he was asked to disclose the substance of that conversation with the
president. Granger testified:
They [President Johnson and Pike] talked a great deal about Masonry. More
about that than anything else. And from what they talked about between
them, I gathered that he [Pike] was the superior of the President in Masonry.
I understood from the meeting that the president was his subordinate in
Masonry....

During the trial of Archduke Ferdinand's killer, Gavrillo Princep testified that his
colleague, Ciganovich, "told me he was a Freemason" and "on another occasion
told me that the Heir Apparent had been condemned to death by a Freemason's
lodge." Moreover, another of the accused assassins, Chabrinovitch, testified that
Major Tankositch, one of the plotters, was a Freemason.

'More light please'...
The Sun, the Moon, and the Master of the Lodge...
It was during that period that I became interested in freemasonry. ... In the
eighteenth century freemasonry became expressive of a militant policy of

enlightenment, as in the case of the Illuminati, who were the forerunners of the
revolution; on its left it culminated in the Carbonari. Freemasons counted among
their members both Louis XVI and the Dr. Guillotin who invented the guillotine. In
southern Germany freemasonry assumed an openly revolutionary character, whereas
at the court of Catherine the Great it was a masquerade reflecting the aristocratic
and bureaucratic hierarchy. A freemason Novikov was exiled to Siberia by a
freemason Empress.
I discontinued my work on freemasonry to take up the study of Marxian economics.

... The work on freemasonry acted as a sort of test for these hypotheses. ... I think this
influenced the whole course of my intellectual development.

Looking towards the EAST, the place of Masonic LIGHT...
And our expression, that our Lodges extend upwards to the Heavens, comes from the
Persian and Druidic custom of having to their Temples no roofs but the sky.

Death, Birth, and Resurrection
The 'poor candidate in a state of darkness' is 'made a Mason' when he is 'born again' into the 'light' of the ancient pagan religion of
Freemasonry via the occult waterless baptism ritual.
Merry Mithras...

Brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
His cheeky 'slip' was neither forgotten, nor forgiven...
But Mozart joined Freemasonry

An international Secret Society.
With symbols and ritual and mystery,
And Hiram Abiff in its third degree.
With passwords, and handshakes, and door knocks.

And covert signs when they are needed,
But most of all, an oath of secrecy,
Which each Mason is warned, must be heeded.
Now Mozart's final opera (The Magic Flute)

Was a peculiar one it would seem,
For the story of this opera
Contained a strange Masonic theme.
But more than this it so happened,

Or maybe it was meant to be
In this work, Mozart "leaked out" Masonic secrets
Perhaps a bit carelessly.
"NO ONE IS TO REVEAL OUR SECRETS"

Thunders the Worshipful Master from his stand,
Or he will be dealt a fatal blow
From the vindictive Masonic Hand.
Yes - When a Mason discloses the secrets,

He somehow meets with a tragic fate.
As did, for example, William Morgan,
At a somewhat later date.
Now, curiously enough with Mozart,

Shortly after this opera's premier,
The composer was to meet with death,
Though he was only in his thirty-sixth year.
For to reveal the secrets of this order

Is to its members a serious sin.
And so til this day some have wondered:
Did the Masons do Mozart in?

We've got some 'pull' with that 'fellow'...

Worshipful Master: * * *. (Strikes his gavel three

times.)
WM: Brother ______, if you are still willing to take the

Obligation, say "I", repeat your name in full, and repeat
after me.
Candidate: I, _____ ______, of my own free will and

accord, in the presence of Almighty God and this
Worshipful Lodge of Master Masons, erected to Him and
dedicated to the memory of the Holy Saints John, do
hereby and hereon solemnly and sincerely promise and
swear that I will keep and conceal and never reveal any
of the secrets belonging to the Degree of Master Mason,
which I have received, am about to receive, or may be
hereafter instructed in, to any person unless it shall be
to a worthy Brother Master Mason, or within the body of
a just and duly constituted Lodge of such, and not unto
him or them until by due trial, strict examination, or
lawful Masonic information, I shall have found him or
them justly entitled to receive the same.
Question: Why does Freemasonry dedicate itself to John the Baptist and John the
Evangelist but not have any mention of Jesus Christ in its 'charges' or rituals?
Answer: As an organization comprised of a plurality of religious faiths, it is not to be

expected that any one religion should be represented except to deceive the naive and
ignorant. The John's are allusions or references to alternative forms of "christianity" in
which Jesus Christ is man only, not God-man, begotten not made from God. These
alternatives are called "gnostic", heretical syncretistic sects that mix Hellenistic pagan
religions with Neo-Platonism.
Question: Why does Freemasonry forbid the use of Jesus Christ in place of the 'Great
Architect of the Universe' in open lodge but contradistinctly emphasise the 'Holy
Saints John'?
Answer: See response supra.
Question: Does Freemasonry have any relation to the heretical Johannite Sects of the
Mid East known as the 'St. John Christians' who revere John the Baptist but despise
Jesus Christ who they term the 'Vomiter of Lies'?
Answer: Yes. The Johannite link is an allusion to a secret church of St John, i.e. a
gnostic sect of Nestorian/Gnostic Christians who deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ.

The use of the Johns is to lull Christians into acceptance of Freemasonry's religious
allusions as legitimate. They are not legitimate references, but deceptive pretences
designed to seduce the naive.
The latent meaning is that the order is the secret church of Jesus Christ. This is a lie,
but the naive are allowed to conclude this if they so wish. Masons actually who seek
light/understanding are lead into the darkness of moral corruption and ego defence
mechanisms. They are allowed to believe and speak nonsense under the auspices of
the order by men, their dominant masters who know better but must conceal the
Truth from their submissives.
Question: Was not the Knights Templar accused of ascribing to the same Johannite
Heresy, and does not Freemasonry promote itself in secret as being the direct
descendants of the Knights Templar?
Their Jesus is not the Christ but a man only. It is an

organization of blasphemy to normative Christians which
stands in agreement with the abuse of the Christian
Bible and St. John and denial of Jesus Christ as true God
and true man. It is a fraud designed to deceive the
public and masons into thinking that they can be
masons and Christians too. That is not possible, save as
a Christian heretic or apostate which denies the divinity
of Jesus Christ.
Note well that St. John omits the institution of the Holy
Eucharist during the seder meal on Holy thursday,
according to the Scriptural narrative. The other, Synoptic Gospels' authors declare the
divinity of Jesus Christ and that the sacraments through His church are instituted by
Him for the salvation of all believers.
Freemasonry is a counterfeit salvation into self-absorption and delusion that seduces

seekers from their faith, so they use as a pretence and facade, the most gnostic of
the Evangelists to hide the order's animus to the claims of religion, any religion. The
mason is gradually seduced away from normative morality into a new age world of
false morality in which the member withdraws from his former life's attachments and
substitutes them with Freemasonry's false promises. the member becomes thusly
increasingly dependent upon the order as a parental surrogate and authority figure
until the member is so completely dependent upon the order that he will lie or commit
criminal acts on its behalf, for he has nothing else in this world or the next to sustain
him and dare not oppose the peer pressure of his fellow masons' retaliation.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will support the Constitution of the Grand
Lodge of the State of Nevada, also all the laws, rules, and edicts of the same, or of
any other Grand Lodge from whose jurisdiction I may hereafter hail; together with the
by-laws, rules, and regulations of this or any other Lodge of which I may become a
member, so far as the same shall come to my knowledge.
Question: What about the laws of the STATE of Nevada?
Civil laws pursuant to the obligation may be circumvented at will. A noticeable

omission that subordinates obedience to civil laws at best and subverts them at
worst, by alienating the allegiance of the member from the family and state and
religion to the Order who becomes the members family and authority.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will answer and obey all due signs and
regular summons sent me from the body of a just and duly constituted Lodge of
Master Masons, or handed me by a worthy Brother of this degree, if within the length
of my cable-tow.
Question: But isn't Masonry Free?
Answer: There are initiation fees and annual dues to be

paid. The true cost is the de-individuation of one's
personality by submission to the mob mind of the
masonic cult. Instead of knowledge and liberty, the
mason grows ignorant and bondaged within a guilded
cage of degrees designed to dazzle the neurotic mind
from realizing the process of debasement into which it has willing succumbed.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will help, aid, and assist all poor and
distressed Master Masons, their widows and orphans, they applying to me as such, I
finding them worthy, and can do so without material to myself or family.
Question: What about all poor and distressed NON Masons, their widows, and
orphans?
Answer: Masonry is a cult based upon mediocrity and mendacity. It is elitist, racist
and misogynist. Masons come firstly. The notion of masons advocating democratic
freedoms and rights is pure nonsense. It is a deceptive lie. Their practical volume of
the sacred law is the book for tyrants by Machiavelli called The Prince, or the egotistic
selfishness of the philosopher Ayn Rand (a woman!), who advocated a might is right,
laissez-faire capitalism with no regard for social welfare for the disadvantaged.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will keep the secrets of a worthy Brother
Master Mason, when communicated to me as such, as secure and inviolate in my
breast as they were in his before communication.
Question: Then why does Masonry claim it is only the "Means of Recognition" that are
kept secret?
Answer: Masonic propaganda through the internet is a deliberate means of deception,

by evasion, deception and denial of the Truth. There is much that they need to keep
secret, and much fraud that they need to perpetrate to lure in new members. It is not
what they say, it what they conceal that the public needs to know.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not give the

Grand Hailing Sign of Distress of a Master Mason, except for
the benefit of the Craft while at work or for the instruction
of a Brother, unless I am in real distress; and should I see
the sign given, or hear the word spoken, I will hasten to the
relief of the person so giving it.
Question: What about when a NON Mason gives a sign of

distress?
Answer: No obligation required. Typical of an elitist and anti-

social cult.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not give the

substitute for the Master• Word in any other way or manner
than that in which I receive it, which will be on the Five
points of Fellowship, and at low breath.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not wrong,

cheat, nor defraud a Master Masons Lodge, or a worthy
Brother of this degree to the value of anything, knowingly,
nor suffer it to be done by another, if in my power to
prevent.
Question: What about wronging, cheating, or defrauding a NON Mason?
Answer: See previous response, supra.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not knowingly strike a Brother Master
Mason, nor otherwise do him personal violence in anger, except in the necessary of
myself, family or property.
Question: What about striking or doing personal violence in anger to a NON Mason?

Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not
have illicit carnal intercourse with a Master Mason• wife,
widow, mother, sister or daughter, nor suffer it to be
done by another if in my power to prevent.
Question: What about not having illicit carnal

intercourse with a NON Mason's wife, widow, mother,
sister, or daughter?
Question: What about not having illicit carnal intercourse with a Master Masons SON?
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not be present at the initiating,
passing, or raising of an old man in dotage, a young man under age, an irreligious
libertine, an atheist, a person of unsound mind, or a woman, knowing them to be
such.
Question: But doesn't Freemasonry claim to be responsible for the concepts of

Freedom of Conscience, Equality, Liberty, and Justice?
Answer: Any claim to liberty and justice made by the Craft are lies designed to dupe
the ignorant. It is an elitist cult infested with dominants who lure and seduce morally
weak individuals into dependence upon them as submissive masons.
Comment: Another Masonism it seems. Up is down and down is up.
Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not be present at the initiating,
passing, or raising of a candidate clandestinely, nor hold Masonic intercourse with a
clandestine Mason, or with one who has been suspended or expelled, knowing him to
be such, until duly restored.
Question: You mean like how the Fascist P2 Lodge of Italy, Argentina, Chile, Greece,
France, Switzerland, Britain, and the U.S. was counted as 'regular' by you because it
was a 'regular' and 'duely constituted' lodge of the Grand Orient of Italy who you had
granted 'regular recognition' to, but how you consider African-American Prince Hall
Masonry 'irregular' and 'clandestine' because they are not 'men free born and well
recommended'?
Answer: Neurotic masons need to blind themselves to the facts of criminal activities
of masons to preserve their dependence upon the masters of the order unperturbed
by Truth. Denial and disavowal is their mantra.

To all of which I do solemnly and
sincerely promise and swear, without
any hesitation, mental reservation, or
secret evasion of mind in me
whatsoever; binding myself under no
less a penalty than that of having my
body severed in twain, my bowels
taken thence, and with my body burned
to ashes, and the ashes thereof
scattered to the four winds of Heaven,
that there might remain neither track,
trace nor remembrance among man or
Masons of so vile and perjured a wretch
as I should be, should I ever knowingly
or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Master Mason. So help me God and
make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.
Question: But Freemasonry isn't a cult right?
Answer: It is assuredly a behavioural programming cult comprised of dominants and

submissive in a symbiotic relationship of mutual exploitation.
WM: In token of your sincerity, kiss the Holy Bible on which your hands rest.
Comment: But remember Brother the oaths you took were only to other
FreeMasons...
WM: Senior Deacon, remove the cable-tow; we now

hold this Brother by a stronger tie.
WM: Brother ______, in your present situation, what do

you most desire?
Candidate: Further Light in Masonry (prompted).
Worshipful Master: Let the Brother be brought to Light.
Comment: The Light of Lucifer...
Comment: Obviously ....

We must turn our attention to an ideal that has always been of concern to men
aspiring to the regeneration of all mankind - the liberation of the entire world and
the establishment of the republic of brotherhood and world peace. Among the many
remedies, there is one which we must never forget: the total annihilation of
Catholicism and even of Christianity. What we must wait for is a pope suitable to our
purposes because with such a pope, we could effectively crush the Rock on which
God built his Church. Seek a pope fitting our description. Induce the clergy to march
under your banner in the belief that they are marching under the papal banner.
Make the younger, secular clergy, and even the religious, receptive to our doctrines.

The foolish and ignorant anti who produced this is in error. A due examination includes more than grips
and words. You must walk the Tilers sword and pass HIS examination.
As you have so denoted, many of the secrets of Masonry have been divulged, therefore the
examinations are more stringent, being necessary to weed out those unworthy professing to be Masons.
May the GAOTU exact due retribution upon your soul for divulging Masonic information in such a
manner, and for the sole purpose of being mean spirited.
May you find yourself paying due penance in the afterlife, as one unworthy to enter the gates of Heaven.
May your inability to hold your tongue leave you without one, where it shall be buried in the sands of the
sea, between low and high tides--an unholy place preventing future repentance and entrance into
heaven.
May your heart be eaten by buzzards, and other predatory birds. May the remainder of your viscera be
taken and burned and scattered over vast distances.

'From Hell' starring Johnny Depp that explores
in rich detail the Masonic Royalist Conspiracy
known as 'The Jack the Ripper Murders'

'From Hell' Flash Intro

Grand Lodge of Ontario, Canada Master Mason, Serial Killer, and Serial Rapist Paul Bernardo
'Freemasonry takes good men and makes them better'
At one point Bernardo was on the top of the Police Department's suspect list when he was terrorizing women in the Toronto suburb of
Scarborough with his years long rape spree.
Police then strangely dropped him to the bottom of the list, later saying they didn't think he was a 'credible' suspect.
Bernardo then graduated to his grisley mutilation killing rampage.
Did the large Police Officer Masonic Lodge Membership cloud some Detectives judgement about 'Brother' Bernardo's suitability as a
suspect? How many Scarborough Police Officers were members of Scarborough Rapist Paul Bernardo's Scarborough Masonic Lodge?
Is Freemasonry the missing piece to the puzzle of how the Police could have failed for so long to stop Bernardo, including the ignoring of
repeated tips about him, that has raised so many questions in the public's mind?
'A Web of Favoritism and Corruption'
Brother, foot to foot teaches you that you should, whenever

asked, go on a brother's errand, if within the length of your
cable-tow, even if you should have to go barefoot and
bareheaded. Knee to knee, that you should always remember
a Master Mason in your devotions to Almighty God. Breast to
breast, that you should keep the Master Mason's secrets,
when given to you in charge as such, as secure and inviolable
in your breast as they were in his own before communicated
to you. Hand to back, that you should support a Master Mason
behind his back as before his face. Mouth to ear, that you
should support his good name as well behind his back as
before his face.
'The Five Points of Fellowship'

Master Master Initiation Ritual

The committee feels that the link between Cosa Nostra and institutions is mostly
through the "Massoneria" (freemasonry):
The fundamental terrain on which the link between Cosa Nostra with public officials
and private professions was created and reinforced is the Massoneria. The
Massoneria bond serves to keep the relationship continuous and organic. The
admission of members of Cosa Nostra, even at high levels, in Massoneria is not an
occassional or episodical one, but a strategic choice. The oath of allegence to Cosa
Nostra remains the pivot point around which "uomini d'onore" (men of honor) are
prominently held. But the Massoneria associations offer the mafia a formidible
instrument to extend their own power, to obtain favors and privileges in every field:
both for the conclusion of big business and "fixing trials", as many collaborators
with justice have revealed.

The Government called him Britain's Biggest Crime Boss - 'Worse than the Kray Brothers'
The United Grand Lodge of England called him 'Worshipful Master'...

'Presiding in the East',
'Worshipful Master' Kenny Noye...
The life of Kenneth Noye has been one of

malevolence and corruption. It is an example of how
someone eagerly embracing crime as a profession
can accumulate enormous wealth and frightening
power.
Detectives untangling his network of corruption now

believe that at least one prominent MP was in his
pay.
Such was the apprehension and nervousness created

by the extent of Noye's corruption of the police that
during the investigation into Stephen Cameron's
murder officers were given around-the-clock protection from their colleagues.
Others changed their telephone numbers. The Noye file on the case was restricted
to less than a dozen senior officers.
In 1977 after being arrested by Scotland Yard for receiving stolen goods Noye
joined the Hammersmith Freemason's Lodge in west London. He was proposed and
seconded by two Police Officers. He eventually rose to be the Master of the Lodge
with the support of the membership of which the Police made up a sizeable
proportion. Other Masons included dealers in gold and other precious metals. A
little while later Noye was being helped out of an arrest by a detective who was a
fellow Mason.
One of Noye's police contacts was prepared to intervene on his behalf not just with
fellow officers, but other law agencies. The detective approached a Customs officer
investigating Noye in the early 80s and pressured him to "lay off".

Membership of secret societies such as freemasonry can raise suspicions of a lack of

impartiality or objectivity. It is therefore important the public know the facts. I think
it is the case that the freemasons said they are not a secret society but a society with
secrets. I think it is widely accepted that one secret they should not be keeping is who
their members are in the criminal justice system.

The Three Pillars

The 'True Blue' 'Square Club'...
The Masonic symbology ("all seeing" eye, black and white tiles, triple turrents etc.) and terminology (Grand Lodge, Brethren, etc.) used by
the premier Police Association is no co-incidence.
Of all the professions the law enforcement and intelligence community have the highest percentage of members who are Freemasons. This
also is no co-incidence as Freemasonry intentionally seeks out new recruits who it finds the most useful.
Unfortunately organized crime has long been aware of this, and the more sophisticated criminals have used Freemasonry in their continual
attempts to corrupt the justice system and 'gain an edge'.
It is for this reason that the British Government has recently put in to place a registration system for all police officers, judges,
magistrates, prosecutors, prison guards, and parole officers in the U.K. who are 'on the level'.
Worshipful Master Noye was just the tip of the iceburg regarding corruption of police by criminals using the lodge system, and by crooked
cops covering up for their activity by using their masonic 'cable tow'.

On the obverse is an eagle whose dexter wing has thirty- two feathers, the number of ordinary degrees in Scottish Rite
Freemasonry. The sinister wing has thirty-three feathers, the additional feather corresponding to the Thirty-Third Degree of
the same Rite conferred for outstanding Masonic service. The tail feathers number nine, the number of degrees in the
Chapter, Council, and Commandery of the York Rite of Freemasonry. Scottish Rite Masonry had its origin in France; the York
Rite is sometimes called the American Rite; the eagle thus clothed represents the union of French and American Masons in
the struggle for Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity. The total number of feathers in the two wings is sixty-five which, by
gematria, is the value of the Hebrew phrase YAM YAWCHOD (together in unity). This phrase appears in Psalm 133 as
follows: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity".

The shield on the eagle's breast affirms by its colors, valor (red), purity (white), and justice (blue), and reminds the Mason
of the cardinal virtues. The value of these colors, by gematria, is 103, the value of the phrase EHBEN HA-ADAM (the stone of
Adam) and suggests the perfect ashlar, or squared stone, of Freemasonry. One hundred and three is also the value of the
noun BONAIM, a Rabbinical word signifying "builders, Masons." Thus the national colors spell out, by gematria, the name of
the fraternity.

There are three plans in action in America today and they all have different purposes. The first plan is
God's plan, a nonsectarian plan; the second is the Roman Catholic plan, and this is a denominational
or sectarian plan, and the third is the Communistic plan, an anticapitalist plan.
God's plan is dedicated to the unification of all races, religions and creeds. This plan, dedicated to the
new order of things, is to make all things new -- a new nation, a new race, a new civilization and a
new religion, a nonsectarian religion that has already been recognized and called the religion of 'The
Great Light.'
Looking back into history, we can easily see that the Guiding Hand of Providence has chosen the
Nordic people to bring in and unfold the new order of the world. Records clearly show that 95 per cent
of the colonists were Nordics-Anglo-Saxons.
Providence has chosen the Nordics because the Nordics have prepared themselves and have chosen
God. They are not church worshippers, for they worship God's word--the Holy Bible. The Nordics are
the great Bible-reading people of the world today, and the Nordics--Anglo-Saxons--were the first
people to print the Holy Bible in great quantity, and they were known as the people of a book, that
book being the Holy Bible.
But, in order to read the Bible, it is necessary to know how to read. In the Nordic race there is no
illiteracy. In Norway there has been no illiteracy for more than a hundred years. Another fact that
shows clearly that the Nordics are God's chosen people this time is they are always looking for more
light on the mission of life. Looking at their station of life, these great Bible-reading people should
open the eyes of the world. King Gustaf of Sweden is a great light in the nonsectarian Masonic
Brotherhood, and King Haakon of Norway is a Masonic light in Norway. The late King Christian of
Denmark was a Masonic spirit in his Denmark; also King George of England is a Masonic light to his
Anglo-Saxon people.
Just as Providence has chosen the Jewish race--the Children of Israel--to bring into the world
righteousness by carrying the 'Ten Commandments' which emphasize 'Remember the Sabbath Day
and keep it holy,' so also Providence has chosen the Nordic Race to unfold the 'New Age' of the world--
a 'Novus Ordo Seclorum.'

As owner-publisher of the Memphis, Tennessee, Daily Appeal, Albert Pike wrote in

administration of justice becomes a blasphemous mockery. A Loyal League of
negroes can cause any white man to be arrested, and can prove any charges it
chooses to have made against him. ...The disenfranchised people of the South ... can
find no protection for property, liberty or life, except in secret association.... We
would unite every white man in the South, who is opposed to negro suffrage, into one
great Order of Southern Brotherhood, with an organization complete, active,
vigorous, in which a few should execute the concentrated will of all, and whose very
existence should be concealed from all but its members."

In California court case, ADL still delaying disclosure of where it got and what it did with personal data on
Anti-Apartheid and Pro-Palestinian activists
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs

December 1997, Page 57
By Kurt Holden
In late 1992, the FBI informed the San Francisco police that one of its officers, Tom Gerard, had been secretly cooperating
with a "spy," Roy Bullock, who had been secretly paid by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith for over 30
years to infiltrate organizations which the ADL deemed hostile to Israel.

Gerard was believed to have illegally turned over to Bullock material gathered from police files. Worse, the police
previously had been ordered to destroy those files, which a court had ruled violated the civil rights of the people upon
whom files had been opened.
Bullock's job was to collect facts about "enemies of Israel" which were then organized in central ADL files in Los Angeles
and New York, and used for confidential dissemination to the "active" Jewish community, which could be counted on to
take "counter-action" to neutralize or discredit these "enemies."
In the 1980s, Bullock's assignments had been expanded to include surveillance of individuals and organizations opposed to
apartheid in South Africa, presumably because Israel and South Africa were allies, drawn to each other because both were
resisting United Nations human rights resolutions regarding the Palestinians and indigenous South Africans.
Bullock would ingratiate himself into Arab-American and anti-apartheid groups by indicating he was in sympathy with their
goals. Attending their meetings and going into their homes, he would note their car license plates and, through "official
friends" who were police officers or who had access to government records, try to get drivers' license numbers, P. O.
boxes and criminal investigative reports, if such existed.
FBI officials had become interested in 1992 when they discovered that in addition to collecting information for the ADL,
Bullock and Gerard were selling information to South African intelligence agents.
The San Francisco police, made up of officers largely of Irish and Italian ethnic backgrounds (and certainly not aware of
the enormous political clout of the Jewish community), obtained search warrants and seized some 12 boxes of records at
the ADL headquarters in Los Angeles and San Francisco in early 1993.
[Under a separate "Arab" category he kept 77 files on 58 Arab-American organizations; among 647 groups described as
"pinko," multiple files were maintained on the African National Congress and 47 other anti-apartheid organizations, both
here and South Africa-based. His surveillance of the latter reflected the ADL's desire, as part of Israel's "unofficial" U.S.
propaganda arm, to neutralize critics of Israel's military and economic ties to the apartheid state, an effort, which, the
records show, was largely successful.
This eventually led him to do similar spying for the South African intelligence service together with his buddy, now retired
San Francisco police inspector Tom Gerard who kept his own set of files (which is more than just a departmental no-no
and has him already indicted and facing a possible conviction).
Among the hundreds of other groups spied upon were such diverse organizations as the NAACP, the National Indian Treaty
Council, Greenpeace, the Japanese-Americans Citizens League, the Centro Legal de La Raza, the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Earth Island Institute and the Harvey Milk Gay and Lesbian Democratic Club. A half dozen American Jewish and
Israeli groups also received his attention including the Jerusalem-based Alternative Information Center, Americans for
Peace Now, Friends of Yesh G'vul, the International Jewish Peace Union and Israelis Against Occupation.
There were also files on 20 Bay Area labor unions, plus the San Francisco Central Labor Council, the Coalition of Black
Trade Unionists, the Boycott Shell Committee, the Green Giant Frozen Food Workers Committee and the San Francisco
Chapter of the Committee for Labor Union Women. In alphabetical order, files were maintained on: AFSCME Local 3218,
AFT 151, AFSCME Local 3506, Carpenters Local 22, NABET Local 51, HERE Local 2, IAM Local 565, ILWU, ILWU Local 6,
NALC Local 214, OCAW, OCAW 8149, Plumbers & Fitters Local 93; SEIU Local 535, SEIU Local 616; Teamster Local 921
(S.F. TDU), United Farm Workers and UTU Local 1730.
In addition, records were kept on the Bay Area Network on Central America, the Portland Labor Committee on Central
America, the Free South Africa Labor Committee and the Labor Committee on the Middle East.
In Bullock's computer, all were labeled "pinko," (which in his interview with SFPD inspector Roth, he equated with "left
wing.")]

Subsequently they sent notices to some 12,000 people and organizations whose names were found in ADL's files. In at
least two cases, they also provided such individuals with excerpts from ADL's files on them which obviously had come from
confidential government records.
Both individuals, Jeffrey Blankfort and Steve Zeltzer, were prominent Jewish advocates of fairness to Palestinians and for
ending apartheid in South Africa. From those activities they already were aware that the ADL worked in cooperation with
Israel's Mossad.
The ADL worked in cooperation with Israel's Mossad
In 1993 they and 17 other plaintiffs filed a class-action lawsuit in the San Francisco Superior Court. The suit has become
known as Audrey Parks Shabbas, et al., plaintiffs, vs. Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, et al., defendants. In addition
to the three above-named plaintiffs, others are Victor Ajlouny, Yigal Arens (son of former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe
Arens), Amal Barkouky-Winter, Manuel Dudum, Colin Edwards, Carol El-Shaib, George Green, Paula Kotakis, Stephen
Mashney, Helen Hooper McCloskey, Margaret Ann McCormack, Donald McGaffin, Anne Poirier, Agha Saeed, Jock Taft and
Marianne Torres. Attorney for the plaintiffs is former Congressman Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey, who practices law in
Woodside, California.
In fact, the suit was filed on behalf of two classes of individuals--those who opposed Israeli policies toward the Palestinians
and those who opposed apartheid in South Africa. The lawsuit alleged an invasion of their privacy, citing a California law
which imposes a minimum of 2,500 Dollars in punitive damages for each act of publication of confidential information
obtained from governmental files.
The ADL responded by arguing that it is a newsgathering organization and thus entitled to the reporter's privilege of
keeping sources of information secret.
Under California law and a famous Supreme Court ruling known as the Mitchell decision, a plaintiff is barred from obtaining
what a reporter claims is "privileged" information until the plaintiff can show that he has exhausted all other reasonable
means of obtaining the facts necessary to prove his case, and has met four other requirements. For four and a half years,
ADL refused to produce the information.
An Order to Disclose
Depositions were taken of ADL employees and law enforcement personnel, but ADL was able to withhold the information
until Aug. 19, 1997, when Judge Alexander Saldamando of San Francisco ruled that ADL and the San Francisco police
would have to disclose to the plaintiffs the illegally obtained information, from whom it had been obtained, and to whom it
was sent.
ADL has announced it will seek a writ from the Court of Appeals to block enforcement of Judge Saldamando's order. The
result should be known by Oct. 30, which is the date ADL is required to produce the information.
The stubborn refusal of ADL to reveal where it received its information, and to whom and for what purposes it was
disclosed, promises many more revealing insights on the methods and motivations of this American-incorporated
organization which has been working diligently on behalf of the governments of Israel and apartheid South Africa.

Shrine Circus escapes the scrutiny of governing bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) and local animal control agencies by not owning the animals used in its shows or possessing an
exhibitor license. The animals are leased from outside companies, including Tarzan Zerbini Circus*, George
Carden Circus*, Jordan World Circus*, Hawthorn Corporation*, Royal Hanneford Circus*, Franzen Bros.
Circus*, and Circus Hollywood*, so Shrine Circus is not subject to citations under its name. Each Shrine
Temple produces its own circus, so animal exhibits will vary from temple to temple and from year to year.
Exhibitors of Shrine Circus-leased animals have failed to meet minimal federal standards for the care of
animals used in exhibition as established in the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). The USDA has cited Shrine Circus
exhibitors for failure to provide veterinary care, adequate shelter from the elements, nutritious food, and
clean water, as well as failure to handle animals in a manner that prevents trauma and harm and ensures
public safety. Animals used by Shrine Circus have caused deaths and injuries. Contact PETA for

Sex show may harm Shriners' charities
'It will take a long time to regain the confidence of the community'
Sun, Jan 28, 2001
By Kevin Rollason
Winnipeg Free Press
The Khartum Shriners are worried that sick children in Manitoba could suffer the fallout from a fund-raising scandal after
an event for Shrine charities this week was revealed to have included sex acts and sexual fondling of nude performers.
And Canada Safeway, one of the charity's major supporters, will be asking the Shriners for an explanation.
Gervin Greasley, public relations director for the Khartum Shrine in Winnipeg, said he's worried about what will happen to
the organization's fund-raising.
"It will take a long time to live this down and regain the confidence of the community".
On Thursday night at the Garden City Canad Inn, two Free Press reporters witnessed two female performers climb upon a

banquet table, fondle each other, kiss and be touched by as many as eight men at one time. Some of the men were seen
to pour beer on the women and put beer bottles between their legs. Patrons performed oral sex on the women in view of
more than 100 men.
At several points, the women tried to stop the men from fondling them, complaining they were in pain and discomfort...
Elsewhere in the hotel, some patrons visited a guest room where a man at the door told them they could get
sexual intercourse for 100 Dollars or oral sex for 75 Dollars.
Organizers of the Shriners' Motor Patrol "V.I.P. Gentlemen's Dinner," attended by more than 400 men, told the Free Press
on Friday that proceeds from the event would be used to cover motor patrol operations and support Shrine children's
charities.
The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission has launched an investigation, while the Winnipeg Police Service said it will
investigate if formal complaints are brought to them.
But Greasley said the local organization itself, affiliated with 525,000 male members belonging to 191 Shrine Temples
across North America, is working quickly at damage control.
At least one of the charity's major supporters, Canada Safeway, is looking for answers.
One member of the Daughters of the Nile, one of the women's arms of the Shriners, said yesterday she was "very
disappointed" when she read about the event in the Free Press.
"I don't understand the whole thing," she said. "Being a woman, I read it with disgust.
Yesterday, the only three patrons drinking at the Shriners' Temple on Wilkes Avenue refused comment.
Diane McGifford, provincial minister responsible for the status of women, said she will be talking tomorrow with Justice
Minister Gord Mackintosh about the incident.
"It appears something very degrading to women took place," McGifford said.
"What seems apparent is although many people believe that men and women enjoy equal opportunities and are equally
valued, that doesn't seem to be the case".
McGifford said she hopes there were many men at the event who were disgusted with the goings-on.
"They have daughters and wives too," she said.
Noting the Shriners raise money so sick or burned Manitoba children can go out of province for help, McGifford said: "It
just seems ironic of them -- we're going to help one group by dehumanizing another group".
Naomi Levine, a Winnipeg lawyer and workplace dispute consultant, said she's shocked not only at the sex acts which went
on at the banquet, but also at the fact that it involved Shriners.
"It's extremely disappointing to see the Shriners can be so injudicious," Levine said. "It's certainly not consistent with the
way they present themselves.

"It smacks of indignity. It smacks of exploitation. There's just nothing positive about this and these are the persons who
put on circuses for kids.
"They should grease their brains and not their wheels".
Would-Be Shriner Says He Was Subjected to Painful Initiation Rites

The Associated Press
Domestic News
PM Cycle
November 20, 1991
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Michael G. Vaughan says he went to the Shrine temple to learn the secrets of the universe. What he
learned, he says, is that the Shrine's initiation rites involve electric shocks and the humiliation of having one's underwear
filled with strawberries and whipped cream.
Now his lawsuit against the fraternity has become cloaked in nearly as much secrecy as the rites themselves.
A judge has ordered all participants in the lawsuit not to divulge details of the case. The case file has been sealed. And
only those directly involved with the lawsuit know when and where to meet for the trial Dec. 9.
The lawsuit was filed last year by Vaughan, a 44-year-old brick mason who claims he was knocked unconscious and
suffered other injuries during initiation rites in 1989 at the Oleika Shrine Temple in Lexington. He seeks an unspecified
amount for medical bills, lost income and punitive damages.
Before Circuit Judge George Barker issued a gag order last summer, Vaughan said in interviews that he wanted to become
a Shriner because the group promised spiritual and emotional fulfillment.
The Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine has about 725,000 members in the United States, Canada and
Mexico. The group is renowned for its philanthropy: Its charitable foundation runs 19 orthopedic and three burn hospitals
where needy children are treated free of charge.
But Shriners also are famous for their love of fun. Temples hold circuses and football games, and Shriners driving
miniature cars and boats and wearing Arabian costumes, turbans and fezzes are familiar sights at parades across America.
"I assumed that the Shrine, as the word would imply, was like (God's) highest secret order, where a great secret would be
learned once you got it," Vaughan said.
So, in 1989, he and about three dozen other initiates stood before an audience of Shriners and began a series of tests,
which included walking on an electrified mat, sitting on an electrified bench and getting a jolt of electricity to their bare
buttocks, the lawsuit says.

At one point, the lawsuit says, Vaughan's shorts were taped to his legs and he suspected a nearby sinkful of strawberries,
whipped cream and ice cream was to be poured into them.
This last humiliation was not carried out, he says, because a table fell over and took him with it. The lawsuit says Vaughan
hit his head on the floor and was knocked unconscious.
Vaughan did not pay his dues and never returned to the temple.
His lawsuit claims that the activities were painful and harmful and that he needed medical treatment because of them. He
accuses the supervising Shriners of assault and fraud.
A court-ordered videotape of the temple's initiation devices confirmed much of Vaughan's story, including the existence of
the electrified bench and mat.
Lawyers on both sides of the case and officials of the Oleika Shrine Temple refused to comment this week, citing the court
order. Vaughan has an unlisted telephone number and could not be reached.
In court documents, the temple denied several of the allegations but acknowledged that shocks "of less than one second"
are administered during initiation. The Shriners denied Vaughan was knocked unconscious.
Theodore Corsones, lawyer for the national Shriners' organization, said he could not comment on the case but that his own
initiation as a Shriner was spiritually uplifting. He said he toured a Shriners hospital for crippled children.
"As for what went on in Lexington, I haven't the foggiest because I wasn't there," Corsones said.
Rules are issued each year on proper initiation techniques, he said.
Robert E. Manley, whose Cincinnati law firm specializes in fraternity law, said at least 35 states, including Kentucky, have
laws that ban hazing. Manley is not involved in Vaughan's lawsuit.
Manely said he wasn't sure if Kentucky's hazing law would apply to the Shrine case. But if the allegations are true,
Vaughan could file an assault and battery complaint, he said.

Dear Brother Hiram,

Wish you were here...

South Haven Daily Tribune
South Haven Michigan
Shrine Records Shocking
Dear Ann Landers:
That glowing letter about how much good the Shriners do was only half of the story. I believe you were taken in. The issue
is not how much money the Shriners pass on to the hospitals they support but how much do the temples keep for
themselves.
The Orlando Sentinal did a terrific series on this subject recently. I am enclosing part one. It will tell you all you need to
know.

---R.L., TIPP CITY, OHIO
DEAR TIPP: Thank you for your letter and part one of the series by Orlando Sentinel. John Haile, editor of the Sentinel sent
me part two. I was distressed by the information contained in that prize-winning story.
Shrine refers to their hospitals as "The soul of the Shrine"" and the Sentinal cited Internal Revenue Service records
showing that although the Shrine is the richest charity in the nation, it gave its 22 hospitals for children less than one-third
of the gross collected from the public in 1984.
The REMAINDER was spent on food, travel, entertainment, fraternal ceremonies and fund-raising.
The Sentinel reported that in 1985 the Shriners kept a whopping 71 percent of the money raised, about $21.7 million. This
went to pay for a range of clubhouse expenses, including the upkeep of private bars, restaurants and golf courses. They
also used the money to pay for conventions, travel and entertainment for their 880,000 members and, again, fund raising.
The Shrine''s most lucrative source of income are the circuses throughout the country. They generate about $23 million in
1985, the paper reported. The records show that LESS THAN 2 percent, or $346,251, went to the medical care of the
children. I find this shocking.
In 1922 the Shriners established hospitals for burned and crippled children. Today they operate 19 orthopedic hospitals
and three burn centers. I want to make it clear that I have received dozens of letters from readers who have told me they
took their children to a Shrine hospital after a terrible accident, the youngsters received wonderful care and not one cent
was charged. This an extraordinary testimony and a glowing tribute.
The facts uncovered by the Orlando Sentinel''s investigative reporters in no way diminishes services performed by the
Shrine hospitals. The complaint is that a great deal of money that people think is being given to help crippled and burned
children never gets there. In all fairness, I want it understood that every penny sent directly to the hospitals is spent solely
to help the children.
Thousands of Shriners were appalled when the Orlando Sentinel made its findings known. They had no idea as to the
financial workings of their fraternity. To their credit, many Shrine leaders are now demanding that the temples make clear
whether fund-raisers benefit the children or the Shriners themselves. Four cheers for them.
Postscript
15 years later nothing has changed, the current percentage is about 25 percent, the Shrine continues to be
the wealthiest "charity" in the world with it's assets now around the $10 Billion Dollar mark.
In 1998 the Shriners posted a $233 Million Dollar PROFIT, almost equal to the entire budget of the Shrine
Hospital system.
In 2001 the Shrine announced a new fundraising drive amid a glitzy national advertising campaign.
In reality it is obvious this was little more than a P.R. and Membership Drive campaign for Freemasonry given
the staggering excesses of funds raised over funds expended they already enjoy.
The largest "charity" in North America continues to convey only a fraction of the funds it raises for legitimate
charitible uses, unlike real charities like the Red Cross and Easter Seals where the percent going to end users
is 80% or better.
But then the Red Cross and Easter Seals don't have private bars, dinning rooms, meeting rooms, and Golf &
Country Club/"Study Centers" to subsidise.

The oath of the Shrine A.A.O.N.M.S. (Shriners) concludes as follows: "...in willful
violation whereof I may incur the fearful penalty of having my eyeballs pierced to the
center with a three-edged blade, my feet flayed and I will be forced to walk the hot
sands upon the sterile shores of the Red Sea, until the flaming sun shall strike me
with livid plague, and may Allah the God of Arab, Muslim and Mohammedan, the
God of our fathers support me to the entire fulfillment of the same, Amen, Amen,
Amen."

The worm is turning Brethren...
Fictions are necessary to the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are
not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in
common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The truth must be kept
secret, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason.
